Hi Andy, I forgot to mention that but I'm not limited at all when I don't set a peakrate, it works well. But doesn't setting a peak rate means that it will allow big 10G bursts at some instant (too much for the 1G servers I think). I only get issue when I set the peak rate (which kind of linked with the jiffy if I'm not mistaken).

Strangely I have now tested with your command and mtu 1514 and I can get gig speed OK. I was thinking possibly you could just omit the peak rate and mtu (which seems to be another buffer size) and see if it was OK. I don't know why I am not limited like you but - I am using tcp netperf. My mobo gig nic is dumb so doesn't offload. I guess a 10 gig nic will offload, so unless you already turned it off with ethtool it's possible the kernel is sending huge packets to the nic. Maybe try far bigger mtu or not bother with peakrate/mtu - FWIW setting 1000mbit peakrate is still going to be faster than a gig nic can go as there are overheads above what tc sees. It could be kernel settings - you mention jiffies, tbf is ancient and I don't know whether it was ever changed, or if kernel settings can change things. I don't know why I am not limited like you grepping hz from my config looks like - ph4[1080i25]$ grep -i hz /boot/config-4.2.0-rc4-g194a336 CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC=y # CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE is not set # CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is not set # CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set # CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set CONFIG_HZ_1000=y CONFIG_HZ=1000 # CONFIG_MACHZ_WDT is not set ��.n��������+%������w��{.n����j�\�)�� jg��� �����ݢj����G���� ���j:+v���w�m������w�������h�����٥
